I thought I had motors figured out. After some reviewing I'm missing something.

Anyone wanna help?

All conductors are THW 75*C terminations.

25hp, 25hp, 15hp, 5hp
208V three phase
w/ non-time-delay fuse.

What is the Feeder fuse size?

This is how I think the problem is done but Its not Im missing something.

Take the largest motor FLC @ 125% = 93.5A
Get the fuse size for 93.5A = 100A
Now add that 100A with the FLC of the remianing motors.

100
74.8
46.2
+ 16.7
= 237.7A

Round down and the Feeder fuse should be 225A

Thats wrong, apparently the answer is 350A Feeder Fuse.

Help me out here I'm missing something. Thanks.
